Both the dry pot and the hot pot are very authentic. I suggest the build your own dry pot with sweet potato noodles, wood ear mushroom, naps cabbage and beef.

The personal hot pots are great! Get the Chinese option, so so deliciously spicy!

We had the food delivered and it was nothing to remember. Just the meat was fresh you could taste that. Flavor wise very underwhelming.

Awesome hot pot Szechuan style restaurant in Arlington. A little bit far from Clarendon metro but well worth the short walk.
